Make sure you receive Facebook Page notifications

Question from a Stolen Horse International-NetPosse Missing and Stolen Equine Facebook follower: Hello, I’m a follower of your page and recently noticed that I’m no longer receiving notifications for posts and updates, even though I believe I previously liked and followed the page. Could you please advise how I can check my current status and adjust my settings to ensure I receive notifications going forward? I don’t want to miss important updates. Thank you for your help.

Not seeing our Facebook page notices is unfortunately very common, and it does not mean anyone did anything wrong. Facebook frequently changes how Pages, likes, follows, and notifications work, and those changes can quietly remove follows, reset notification preferences, or stop delivering posts without telling the user or the Page admin.

Below is a clear, practical explanation, plus steps you can take right now to improve notifications and visibility.

Why this happens

• Facebook periodically resets or changes Page settings
• “Liking” a Page is no longer the same as following
• Notification defaults often revert to “Highlights” or “Off”
• Followers who don’t interact for a while may stop seeing posts entirely
• Even Page founders, admins, and top fans can be affected

This is system-wide behavior, not something unique to your page.

How can people make sure they receive your Page notifications

Follow each step carefully (many think you’ve done it, but haven’t).

Step 1: Make sure you are FOLLOWING the page

• Go to your Facebook Page
• Click the “…” (three dots) next to the page name
• Click Follow settings
• Confirm Followed is ON

Liking alone is no longer enough.

Step 2: Turn on FULL notifications

1. On the Page, click the “Following” button
2. Choose Notifications
3. Select Standard or All Posts (not Highlights)
4. Turn on:

• • New posts
  •  Live videos
  •  Important updates

Step 3: Set your Page to “Favorites”
This greatly increases visibility.

Mobile:

1. Menu (☰)
2. Settings & privacy → Settings
3. Notifications → Feed
4. Favorites → Add your Page

Desktop:

1. Menu → Feeds → Favorites
2. Add your Page

Step 4: Engage with the Page (this matters!)
Supporters need to:

• Like or react to posts
• Comment (even “Boost” or “Shared” helps)
• Share posts
• Click photos or links

Facebook’s algorithm favors interaction, not just follows.

Step 5: Check to see if you didn't accidentally unfollowed
Facebook sometimes switches Pages to:

• “Unfollow”
• “Highlights only”

Make sure to re-check settings every few months.
